Leofric The journey here has been pretty smooth.
According to Li Ang's instructions, he stopped when the lights of the Prophet Legion camp could be seen with the naked eye - this location was about three miles away from the Prophet Legion.
Then, use crosswort to wake up Misfortune Bringer, and ask Morgan to explain, "They rescued her from the enemy, and they must report the situation to the prophet quickly."
Then Leofric said that he was entrusted by Countess to deliver food to Madam Bella. On the way, he met Morgan chasing a group of kidnappers, so he helped out.
The acting skills of the two were probably not very good, but at least the caliber was perfectly matched. Although Misfortune Bringer felt something was wrong, after seeing hundreds of carriages pulling food, there was no doubt that Leofric - this baron only brought 300 soldiers and drove 300 carriages. Those soldiers were also lightly dressed, and it seemed that they were really here to deliver food.
At this time, Morgan had fully realized that not only were these women not normal people, but they were not necessarily human beings - his 'baby' was hit hard on the head by Li Ang a few hours ago, choked unconscious, and had her face completely twisted and pulled back, but she seemed to feel nothing and only remembered that she was knocked unconscious.
Normal people will always have some pain left over, right?
But that Misfortune Bringer immediately touched his whole body and found no injuries, and then stopped making any movement.
Obviously, this is because their bodies feel no pain!
Moreover, that Misfortune Bringer even claimed that she was attacked while sleeping, and said that the "thieves" must have been motivated by sex - obviously, she did not know what happened after she fainted, and did not want to arouse the suspicion of Morgan and Leofric.
Therefore, with the active cooperation of Morgan, Leofric pretended to be interested in the beauty of Misfortune Bringer and the guidance of Three Prophets. He expressed that he wanted to get the power given by the gods so that he could establish greater achievements in Brave Shield Fortress - this was the line given to him by the lord.
Because this is a very common request, there will definitely be many nobles requesting Three Prophets's guidance with such a desire, especially the border lords who are in their thirties and in their prime.
After all, every young and middle-aged man desires to become an invincible hero.
So, that Misfortune Bringer quickly found another taller woman - if Amy and Kloze were here, they would definitely recognize that this tall Misfortune Bringer was the one next to Madam Nera.
She is here to confirm the situation and act as a 'guide'.
Madam Bella was indeed the one who handled the grain purchase - because she didn't ask a single question about the grain, but instead took the initiative to give Baron Leofric a chance...
She said that Madam Bella was beside the prophet and asked Leofric to go in with her with the food - she was lying to Leofric, but this was in line with the Lord's plan!
Of course Leofric knew that Madam Bella had been taken away by Forster a few days ago. He immediately understood why Li Ang said that his operation would go smoothly this time - Prophet Legion was already waiting for the food bought by Madam Bella to arrive.
In the early morning, when the sky was slightly dim, Baron Leofric entered the Prophet's Camp from the north gate, which was closer to Long River Town.
There are no knights camping in this direction, probably because of the special request of those women, probably to make it easier to observe the situation of Long River Town.
And just as the motorcade drove towards the prophet's camp, "Hooohoo... hooohoo...", ghostly owls hooted one after another, and the night owls relayed the message back.
The coalition forces continued to march in the direction of the Prophet Legion, and accelerated their pace.
Three Prophets still didn't show up, but they set up tea sets at the entrance of a luxurious tent, apparently to entertain Leofric.
A few dozen meters away, Leofric saw the legendary Three Prophets with his own eyes.
The faces of these three witches are indeed stunningly beautiful, and the armor on their bodies looks gorgeous and strange. The dark red lining does not look like cloth or metal. I don't know what it is made of.
As soon as we entered the camp, we smelled the strong aroma, and the soldiers driving in the camp started coughing.
Leofric also secretly stuffed some of the grass foam Li Ang gave him into his mouth, resisting the stimulation of the crosswort without coughing, and looked around.
He smelled a faint smell of blood.
Probably that fragrance is to cover up the smell of blood.
The tall Misfortune Bringer walked up to him and said that Three Prophets wanted to treat Baron Leofric to a cup of tea.
However, Leofric cleverly said that he was too dirty after traveling a long distance, and it was inconvenient to drink tea while wearing armor, so he decided to unload the food and change clothes before returning.
Then he directly followed a few female soldiers to bring the grain truck into the vicinity of the granary in the camp - a tall tent was set up with waterproof tarpaulin, and there were piles of sacks inside. It was easy to tell that this was a material warehouse.
But maybe the aroma in the camp should have had some effect, maybe it was Leofric's behavior of going straight to the granary that led to Misfortune Bringer's suspicion - with a sweet smile, she flashed Snake Heart Stone next to Leofric!
However, with the Lord's reminder, and Li Ang also sent people to find a lot of crosswort for him, Leofric certainly knows what this means.
Found!
Then take action immediately!
Snake Heart Stone Of course it won't be useful. After he and his soldiers entered the camp, they all had crosswort in their mouths and even the draft horses were chewing it.
The coughing sound was not because of the aroma, but because of the irritation of Crosswort.
Fortunately, almost all the grain trucks had entered the camp at this time, so the short-term undercover plan was carried out in advance in front of Three Prophets!
"Get in the car! Start the fire!"
Leofric didn't care about the Misfortune Bringer beside him. He directly picked up his Black Iron Spear and started to speed up the horse. He ran wildly in the camp and shouted to his subordinates to take action immediately.
Three hundred soldiers acting as coachmen lit the firewood pile covered with a tarpaulin behind them.
Then everyone did the same thing - pulling out a lit piece of firewood and hitting the draft horse's butt hard. The blindfolded draft horse pulled the burning cart in severe pain and began to run wildly, bumping everywhere in the camp.
Then, just as Li Ang, the habitual criminal, told them, they jumped on the draft horses and cut off the shoulder straps of the cart with one knife, causing the horses to break away from the cart.
Under the leadership of Leofric, these draft horses began to gallop in the same direction - south.
They came in through the north gate of the camp, and now they were surrounded by ignited carriages. Naturally, they had no choice but to flee south.
The four-wheeled carriage without the draft horse was still running around quickly due to inertia, and the dry firewood on the carriage also burned quickly with the wind brought by the movement!
Three hundred unmanned carriages that were on fire crashed in all directions, and soon the entire camp was set ablaze!
The large coalition forces have all seen the flames rising into the sky.
In this early morning, the firelight is as eye-catching as the sunrise!
At least dozens of carriages were burning all over the Prophet Legion granary, and all the waterproof sheds made of oilcloth were quickly ignited. The rising flames quickly evaporated the morning dew into white mist, and then spread everywhere at a terrifying speed.
The tarpaulin tents where supplies were stored were covered in fire almost instantly, and then gradually turned into volcanoes several meters high.
Sparks and thick smoke were flying everywhere and soon filled the entire camp.
At the same time, these soldiers on draft horses also lit the last fire - they threw the lit firewood in their hands towards the tents and curtains that served as walls that had not been set ablaze by the carriages.
The wall curtain outside the camp was quickly ignited with fire. Blindfolded draft horses rushed out from the burned curtains and stepped directly into the camp of those following the knights in the south of the camp.
Most of these knights had been awakened, and they got out of their tents to see what was going on. Some of them were shouting 'put out the fire'.
But early in the morning is when people are most tired, and they don't have time to put on armor - knight armor in this era is quite cumbersome to put on, and it is very difficult to put it on alone. Even if someone helps, it will take at least several minutes.
This is why these knights must send their retinues to keep watch and inquire about surrounding intelligence. The consequences of their encounters with night attacks are often disastrous!
Moreover, this fire cannot be saved.
Prophet Legion's camp is a giant camp two hundred meters square, with more than fifty large tents and at least two hundred small and medium-sized tents, as well as two huge stables and a warehouse nearly ten meters high.
Now almost all of those tents were in flames, the fodder piled up in the stables and the food in the warehouse had connected the flames together, and the sky was full of flying sparks.
In some places, small-scale deflagrations were even caused - for example, when piles of flour bags were burned through by violent flames, and large amounts of dry flour dispersed with the heat.
Various cloth remnants, firewood dust, and other things were raised by the fire, burned and floated into the air, and then continued to fall, spreading around the sea of fire, and even ignited the tents of many knights in the surrounding area.
The huge camp was filled with splashing tongues of fire. The flames ignited near the warehouses and stables were seven or eight meters high. People could feel their faces burning even if they were tens of meters away, and it was impossible to get close to them.
Unless a modern fire brigade comes across this kind of fire, there is no need to consider putting it out.
Prophet Legion's reaction was quite fast. Seeing that the fire could not be saved, the female soldiers scattered and fled the scene of the fire.
Many female soldiers had already chased them south and started firing arrows.
But these female warriors on foot could not catch up with Leofric who fled on horseback.
Fortunately, the lord reminded me that the soldiers who came in to set fire were each carrying a shield. The arrows fired from behind occasionally hit them, but they either hit the shield or hit the horse's butt, so the battle damage was very small.
Shooting the horse's butt can also speed up the draft horse - the buttocks of this large animal are very thick, and arrows in the same direction during pursuit are not very powerful, so they will not cause much damage to the draft horse.
Leofric led the soldiers to easily fight a bloody path with their war spears. Facing the panicked enemies who had just woken up from their sleep with incomplete armor, he probably experienced the unparalleled feeling of a god of war.
Only the Misfortune Bringer around the knights were not easy to deal with, but they didn't need to be dealt with. These women, who only held one-handed shield hammers, didn't have time to ride horses. They couldn't stop hundreds of heavy draft horses.
After a while, a group of Misfortune Bringer seemed to be organized together and chased them out on horseback.
Their horses are definitely much faster than draft horses, but in an environment full of small tents and small camps, it is not easy for them to catch up with these soldiers on draft horses - their horses will be very smart to circle around the camp to avoid hitting tents or other wooden structures.
This is also the reason why Li Ang encountered them patrolling the outermost part of the entire camp. There are small campsites everywhere.
But the draft horses are different... they are all blindfolded...
Even though the draft horses pulling the carts are not flexible, they are generally large horses. In the small camps set up by the knights outside, they can just run into them. Those small tents cannot stop such big guys of one or two thousand pounds.
In fact, if there were shock springs or rubber, and no wooden wheels, these draft horses could have pulled nearly two tons - they were a very strong workforce.
It's just that draft horses are strong and powerful, but they are generally timid and not very fast. They are afraid of fire and sound, so they are easily frightened on the battlefield.
In fact, a small number of these draft horses may have been frightened now - although they did not see the fire, the noise and shouts of death around them were already very loud.
But even so, there is no problem in running forward blindfolded, because Leofric's mission has been completed, he only needs to run forward, and Li Ang also told him not to look back.
The people who actually enter the battlefield have arrived!
During the time when Leofric entered the Prophet's camp, lit a fire and ran away, the coalition troops had moved forward quickly for a long distance. Through the blazing fire, the chaotic camp of the Prophet Legion could be clearly seen with the naked eye.
The large force is now located less than two miles southeast of the Prophet Legion, visible to the naked eye.
In fact, Prophet Legion also saw the coalition troops - the female soldiers who were chasing Baron Leofric turned around one after another, and some of the knights on the periphery stopped trying to put out the fire and began to noisily gather to the side.
"The whole army moves forward, prepare for battle!"
Godric raised his sword and shouted, then drove his horse and took the lead in trotting forward, keeping the horse's speed down.
This is not a charge order. A charge will only be launched when you are two to three hundred meters closer to the enemy. Too long a distance will tire both man and horse.
In fact, Godric is no longer prepared to let the army charge.
This is a battle order. Control your speed and jog for two miles, and hand over all the heavy equipment to the logistics followers. The followers in charge of logistics will not continue moving forward.
In fact, if it weren't for the extremely tall Misfortune Bringer who suddenly became suspicious, then Leofric would have set the fire again when the coalition forces arrived - with a strong military raid outside and undercover agents setting fire inside, Three Prophets would have been destroyed in one wave.
Now that the ignition is ahead of schedule, the coalition forces are still two miles away, which probably gives Prophet Legion about three minutes to react.
Three minutes can actually do a lot of things, such as recalling the elite troops under your command, reorganizing some of the chaotic teams, and letting some of the knights who are putting on equipment complete their arming.
And some troops can be quickly put into frontline defense formation to buy more time for the large army.
Therefore, there is no need to charge into the melee at this time and burn Prophet Legion's food, which in itself has achieved the intended result.
In fact, Prophet Legion did not waste these three minutes.
The three prophets quickly abandoned the camp that had become a sea of fire, and led the team on fast horses through the messy camp. They were closely surrounded by hundreds of female soldiers, as if they were covering something up.
And Three Prophets also recalled all Misfortune Bringer immediately.
Three Prophets recalled these Misfortune Bringer in order to issue an order - let them confuse the knights and their retinues outside the camp to resist the rapidly approaching large coalition forces.
In fact, they were using those brainwashed knights as cannon fodder to buy time for their female soldiers. Those female soldiers dispersed after the camp caught fire and needed to regroup.
The roles these Misfortune Bringer play in Three Prophets's team are generally like knights under nobles.
But the problem is that right now, those knights and their men don't even have much equipment to wear, so they are actually unable to form a fighting force...
Moreover, there was a sudden fire, and these knights and their retinues were all in chaos now.
It is actually difficult to control these less conscious guys in such a chaotic environment, especially after those Misfortune Bringer were recalled by Three Prophets and left them briefly.
These two hundred knights didn't know each other. It was like a large group of tourists experiencing a natural disaster while camping in a scenic spot. They were all running around doing their own thing. The scene was basically the same as a disaster scene.
Some were shouting loudly, probably looking for his 'baby' just like Morgan did before; some were running for their lives in panic, maybe frightened by the fire; and some were harassing other knight squads, apparently planning to grab some equipment to arm themselves.
There were even those who streaked into the Three Prophets team - there were hundreds of beauties there, all of whom looked stunning... But these idiots who streaked past were all killed directly.
But two minutes later, after most Misfortune Bringer received orders to return to the ranks of these knights, some of them quickly settled down.
I don't know if they are trying to protect the beauty around them, or for their own dreams... or maybe they are trying to prove their choice.
Anyway, many men took up arms and gathered in front of 'beauties' like Prophet Legion.
Even though most of them are only wearing underwear.
Of course, there are still many people running around and disobeying orders, especially the miscellaneous weapons brought by the knights.
In Three Prophets, a witch holding a strange-shaped saber led hundreds of chain-mail female soldiers holding foreign two-handed sabers or short-handled spears and axes, and directly started to kill those men who did not obey the command. A dozen men running around were instantly chopped down to the ground.
This is the right approach. Prophet Legion must control the chaotic situation, otherwise it will be difficult for their own female soldiers to complete pre-war preparations - most of the female soldiers were scattered to various surrounding camps because the camp was set on fire, and were scattered by these messy men.
This group of confidant female soldiers began to roam around, and whenever they saw men running around in confusion, they would attack directly, with a very determined attitude.
Subsequently, more and more female soldiers gathered behind them.
The killings caused by these female soldiers on their own people did calm the chaotic scene, but it also caused many knights to collapse - they were just panicked at first, but after seeing the killings of the female soldiers, they became scared...
Because a small number of knights died in the hands of Misfortune Bringer, who was still friends with them before.
